I loved the blog even before I saw your Arsenal badge. I am in Austin Texas USA and we have a bar in town where we watch all the Arsenal games live. Because of the time difference the afternoon games can be at 6:30am but there’s always a crowd.
Oh crap, now I forgot what I was gonna say…. well go Gunners from one old fart to a mature and intelligent senior.

I finaly added the read more button to the most recent 7 or so posts. But Before I do the rest of them.. could you have a look? I wasnt sure if I’m adding them in the right places. Maybe too soon or not soon enough.

I have been suscribed for a long time, but thats the other me. 😉
ok thanks. I think they are too long also, but givin the subject, I thought it would mess with peoples heads if I broke it up in the middle.
Thanks Much.

Hi, I just had to stop by after what you wrote on Pigletinportugal’s page about this new follow button we all seem to have! I think I’ll have fun here so I’m following you now. I especially had to subscribe as you’ve got that bloke from ‘up’ on your page – reminds me so much of my step-dad (scouser) and I’m not the only one to say it! I look forward to your rants.

DP – I may be blonde but I’m not from Liverpool but can appreciate the blonde jokes – that’s me through and through, totally dippy but I do actually have a brain as well. I’m from Bolton, you will have heard of it from your football connections – my son works for Bolton Wanderers. Have I just sworn…..?

Yes Hocam, its been months since you were here but welcome back, we have been in Wexford many times years ago, now as far as we go is Bray.
Thanks for the award who sends it out 🙂 and when doe’s the cheque arrive.

Yes I was in Turkey for 2 months and as the sun is such a rare sight in Wexford I spent more time outside than in. Hence, falling behind with the blog reading. Now the award, that’s the bad news, it’s just the honour and glory and of course work to be done if you accept. I get to Bray sometimes myself, I’ve a friend living there.

Oh, I shall have to crawl into my pentagram then – or should I be on the outside of it? I love a good potato and have grown three types this year. Glad the dribbling’s easing up Harry – most of my people don’t start until they are mid eighties. Sharp as knives wit-wise though, at times. Glad to make your cyber acquaintance!

Get your tissues out…I’m nominating you for the Versatile Bloggers Award. I should have it posted by this morning. Go to my blog to get the details because there are “rules” about accepting and “paying it forward” should you choose to accept. I hope you do. And I hope you get some increased traffic on your blog–you sure do deserve it!

Do they even still have the whole, “Blog Roll ” thing, Harry? I’m trying to figure out the new lay-out for the Administration bar etc, and to be honest, I thought they changed it to follow. I don’t know what they did last night, but, as I was in the middle of editing something, it changed my screen resolution, or something, that I’ve not recovered the site from. Weird, anyway,I’ll be adding you to Blog Roll, per your request and reciprocation…just as soon as I can find it..probably after work today though.
God Bless

A big thanks for the nomination for the VBA! I finally got around to doing a post about it and following the guidelines with my list of bloggers and of course the best part… seven things about me. I couldn’t stop at 7 because, well, it’s about ME! Take a look if you have a moment.. Thanks again. http://off-the-mainstream.com/2011/09/26/award-sharing-time/#more-759

You seem to be becoming the patriarch of us youngsters. Always good advice, a helping hand, and little humour. (You notice I spelled humour all Britishy. I’m bilingual.)

Harry, That’s because American’s are always in a hurry and we don’t like extra letters like (color and colour)

Although when I watch Graham Norton on BBC I have to turn on the subtitles so I can read what everyone is saying. He’ll have guests from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the North of England and it’s the Tower of Babel with fancy clothes.

Just so you’re aware. There are other pensioners lurking about in the hedges, on the other side of the pond. I am a year older than thou and a bit more interested in drawing than writing, but you might find something of interest on my blog. Of course you are invited for a look so please come on over and I’ll keep looking at you kid (Humphrey Bogart) in the meantime. Cheers and keep on blogging.

I have been reading your comments on Midaeval Maiden’s Space and so I thought why not call over and see what this fellow is all about, of course now that I am here I will probably swamp your blogs with comments, well that is if I can keep up with all the other Spaces I frequent? 🙂 lol

I don’t know if you like Horror, you know the odd Werewolf, Zombie, Skeleton or Vampire and with the odd Ghoul thrown in for good measure but if you do then why not pick up a wooden mallet, some very sharp stakes and a few cloves of garlic and take a walk through My Gothic Realm 🙂

Don’t worry though as I will try and stop anything from grabbing you during mid stride 🙂 So how about that for a wicked invite? 🙂

Call by whenever you are in the mood for a bit of Blood Soaked Pizza or a Slice of Skeleton Pie…

Dear Harry,
thank you so much for your help with the weather widget. I followed the link and now it is done already.
I like your blog very much. If I look at it and read I realise how much work I still have got ahead of me… Are you as funny in real life too? I hope you are…
Warm regards
Anne

Hi Harry, I came across one of your comments on granny1947’s recent posts so thought I’d pop in here to say hello and get to know you.
I like your blog (love the header) and have subscribed as I don’t want to miss any of your rants!

Lynda, do a search for animated gif pictures or animated pictures, if you see one you like, right click and it should go to ” pictures ” in your pc, then up-load as usual to a post, i have a test blog i try things in first before posting.

I have finally checked this page of your blog. We visited Belfast very briefly on a visit to the UK and France a few years ago. I have to admit that it was not what I had expected in that it was so very different than the Republic of Ireland. I admire your country very much. You must have seen a lot of changes over your years. Have you been there throughout your life? Have you visited the U.S?

Yay, Belfast .. I know it well as my mother was born there and I have spent many holidays with family and friends around that coast. My cousin lives close to Stormont Castle and my Uncle is in Dundonald. I have an Aunt in Groomsport and another Uncle in Carrickfergus …. it’s a small world and obviously you’re not so much of the dribbling either …..!

Which part of Belfast did she come from.
We lived in Dundonald for a year and i used to work out there.
Groomsport a lovely place to live and also for a few hours out.
Carrickfergus, i know it well and have lots of friends who live there.

Btw, you name link needs to be fixed this is what comes up when you click your name.

Your About page made me smile. Definitely a great blog and I’ve only just started to surf around. Saw your at my blogger friend’s blog – Devina, so I thought of doing a blog hop to yours. Glad I did. 🙂

Haha I love this. 66 is not that old but I guess I am only 23 and my joints and memory aren’t the best so I’m not looking forward to my 60s =) We share a bit in common: I lived in Northern Ireland in County Down for 7 years before and have been to Belfast quite often – not a lot to do there so I see why you have a blog =) I am a live in carer to an older lady with dementia and have just started a blog about my experience. I have only posted a couple of publications so far but I wondered if you’d be interested (might make you feel better about your occasional bad memory! =) ) Anyway I’ll go have a read at your posts as they look good, particularly the poems x

There is a lot of wisdom writ all over your blog, I always say, ‘Take the wisdom from the elderly, the power of youth’. After all, age is but a number, so you and I can make the world really a better place. 😀 Very inspiring blog. ~kudos~

Hope it is not too late to wish you a wonderful New Year. May 2013 bring you more happiness, love, and success. I would like to thank you because you continue following my blog. I hope my blog posts do not disappoint and that your visits in there have been a joyful ride.Thank you again, Harry, many blessings and much love to you. 🙂

Hi Harry! You are such a nice man with a great sense of humor! Thank you for your beautiful words. Keep on inspiring young aspiring writers like me. You have a gift and that gift makes a difference in people’s lives. 🙂

Harry – I’ve been meaning to ask you, do you play golf? Mama is planning a trip for us somewhere across the pond in the spring after I get my teeth. She is looking at river excursions on the continent, however, the lure of the value that Ireland offers is very powerful to a frugal woman and especially for a beer drinking golfer.

I have nominated you for the 2013 Blog of the Year Award. You May Accept, You May Decline, You May Appreciate the Honour and yet be Disinclined, But whatever You May Be, Be Sure You are Valued and Exceptional, To Me! Please Find the information for this award at my post: http://booknvolume.com/2013/12/03/cheerfully-chu…-and-then-some/

I’m Krish, not too sure if u remember but I used to run the wordpress blog: kountingkrishes about 4 years ago. Long story short, I lost access to it and stopped writing for almost 4 years . Now I am writing again, created this new site a week ago and I remembered to check your page out! Good to see that you never stopped writin . You have always been one of my favorite bloggers here in wordpress. Looking forward to reading all your work!!!!

Oh my gosh, I’m glad your better. A scary coincidence, my grandmother had a minor stroke late last year, it was a harrowing time. She’s back up and at it again. Honestly, physically I’m fine, but these days are much difficult for me otherwise but I don’t give up easy 😉
